We’ve all done it. A little excuse here, a good reason there to avoid a workout. But let’s be honest: most of the time, they’re just well-honed excuses to stay on the couch. Today, we’re taking these excuses apart one by one… with a good dose of humour and a dash of WODANDGO!
🚫 ALLO: Fake excuse!
You have time to scroll through Insta videos for 30 minutes, but not for a quick session? Strange.
💡 Solution: Grab your WODANDGO potholders, do a 20-minute AMRAP and prove to the world that you’re capable of prioritizing your goals. Because after all, even a superhero would find 30 minutes to train between rescues.
🚫 Classic excuse, but not always justified.
Tired of what? Sitting around all day? 🤔
Unless you’re ill or chronically sleep-deprived, training can help you regain your energy!
💡 Solution: put on your WODANDGO kneepads, do some squats and see how your energy soars again. Spoiler: activity boosts energy, so stop yawning and move your body!
🚫 Beginner’s excuse!
If having aches and pains meant stopping, nobody would continue after the first wod.
💡 Solution: Do a bit of cycling to gently wake up your muscles and follow it up with a little mobility flow. Follow up with a cal and gym wod, your WODANDGO potholders didn’t let you down yesterday, they won’t today!
🚫 Can’t deny it: honest apology, but to be challenged.
Don’t feel like it? But you felt like pizza last night, didn’t you?!
💡 Solution: put on your favorite music, put on your ultra-stylish carbongrip, and tell yourself that the urge comes by moving. Challenge yourself: just start with a warm-up, and if you still don’t feel like it afterwards… well ok, go eat your pizza. But we all know you’ll end up doing the WOD!
🚫 Excuse that slows down a LOT of people.
Newsflash: everyone’s too busy surviving their own WOD to judge you! And let’s be honest… Nobody comes out of a good workout with a fresh, rested head.
💡 Solution: Gain confidence with the right equipment! Clattering potholders, stylish knee pads, and you’re ready to string rehearsals together without a thought for anyone else. And then, just between us, those watching you are probably just impressed. 😏
🚫 Easy excuse, but not valid.
Sure, without the right potholders, your hands are going to look like a topographical map after a WOD where the gym has preached.
💡 Solution: Invest in gear that holds up (like the WODANDGO potholders, here you go…). Because yes, the right equipment can make the difference between a good session and a session of suffering!
🚫 Weather excuse… unless there’s a tornado.
The weather’s just an excuse not to sweat. But spoiler: you’re going to sweat no matter what. Summer or winter, you’ll be sweating like crazy…
💡 Solution: If you’re outside, adapt your outfit – in fact, don’t hesitate to check out what we’re offering in terms of textiles, which are pretty stylish. If you’re indoors, stop watching the weather and get your warm-up gear. Come on, a little EMOM and forget the rain!
🚫 Apologies for frustration.
If every workout made you stronger immediately, everyone would be Rich Froning or Tia-Clair Toomey in a month.
💡 Solution: Take a photo today, try again in a month, and you’ll see the difference. And if you’re feeling sluggish, challenge yourself with a new routine or training technique. Potholders, knee pads, or belt, get equipped and go for it!
🚫 Sometimes a legitimate excuse… but not always.
Rest is good. But if it’s an excuse to binge-watch Netflix, it’s not.
💡 Solution: Do a lighter session, work on your mobility or try out an accessory you don’t often use. You could even try a jump-rope workout, it works the cardio without burning you out.
🚫 Procrastination excuse.
You know what? Monday is today. Unless you’ve got a broken foot, there’s no excuse for moving the date!
💡 Solution: Grab your bag, put on your potholders and start now. No need to wait for a perfect day, the best time to make progress is always now.
Excuses are easy. But results only come with discipline. So next time you’re looking for an excuse to skip a session, remember this article… and go train with your WODANDGO gear!💪🔥
